Remarrying Chun Yuan

Although Wei Gongming's words were shameless, they were undeniable.

After all, everyone knows that Yuan Cuo is a poor scholar, and Liu Yuechu has suffered a great loss in this marriage.

Princess Chen was already bothered by this matter, and now her anxiety intensified.

Chen Zhongyao gave his mother a reassuring look. "The person officiating at a wedding only needs to be of good character and open-minded. Why care about their status? No matter how high their status, a spoiled and slick person is not worthy of being the officiant. Don't you think so?" He turned to look at Pei Chun.

Pei Chun: "???"

He didn't say a word, so how did he get dragged into this?

The spoiled brothers behind him couldn't help but laugh. They had long since lost all sense of shame, as long as they weren't called out and scolded.

Wei Gongming chuckled, "Censor Chen is right, but how can someone who is willing to become a live-in son-in-law be considered magnanimous? After all, he has forgotten the names of his ancestors."

“How can he be considered a live-in son-in-law? Young Master Yuan is taking a wife, not marrying her,” Liu Muchi couldn’t help but argue.

Wei Gongming chuckled, "After the marriage, won't we be eating and living at the Liu family's house? Doesn't that count as being a live-in son-in-law?"

"It's because my sister is a homebody..."

"It's just to save face and say nice things."

Pei Chun interjected sinisterly, "What do you mean by 'son-in-law'? Isn't it just your jealousy? If Liu Yuechu marries me, I'd even change my son and daughter's surname to Liu!"

"Me too."

"Who can't?"

The spoiled brats chattered amongst themselves, and Princess Chen's face grew increasingly dark.

Chen Zhongyao coughed lightly, which silenced the laughter.

Liu Yuechu, hiding in the inner room, witnessed this scene and felt a headache coming on. "Go ask Liu Muchi where Yuan Cuo and his party are?" She only hoped that he would arrive safely and that nothing would happen to him on the way.

"Why don't I go and keep the princess company?" Lin Mengyu knew what Liu Yuechu cared about most.

Liu Yuechu nodded; according to the rules, she couldn't show herself now.

Lin Mengyu looked at Li Shu, but Li Shu was distracted. She wanted to look at Wei Gongming from time to time, but she was also timid, so she hesitated and struggled.

Lin Mengyu was so disappointed in her son that she simply picked up her skirt and left with her maids.

Li Shu came to her senses and wanted to follow, but she didn't dare to chase after them. "...Never mind, I'll stay here with you." She could only find an excuse to stay.

Liu Yuechu had no interest in paying attention; she was only thinking about Yuan Cuo.

The gatekeeper quickly came in to announce, "Young Master Yuan's entourage has turned onto this street and will be arriving soon!"

Liu Yuechu immediately summoned Huajiao, and Uncle Chun and Granny Fang also prepared to welcome the guests in according to the established ceremony.

One red trunk after another was carried in through the door, led by Li Chengyue.

He was refreshed and his hearty laughter sounded as if he were the one getting married.

"Greetings, Princess; Greetings, Imperial Censor Chen; Greetings, Madam." He bowed respectfully as he entered, then busied himself moving the chests and trunks into the courtyard. "Move them all inside; there are so many things. If we put them at the entrance, they'll block the road!"

"Isn't he a poor wretch? Where did all this betrothal gifts come from? The chests aren't empty, are they?" Pei Chun saw that twenty gifts had already been brought in and immediately went over to examine them closely.

But with Princess Chen present, he dared not reach out to lift the lid and see what was inside.

Li Chengyue ignored him and simply handed the gift list he was holding to Princess Chen.

Princess Chen opened it and took a look. After the initial surprise, she was also somewhat satisfied.

Although it wasn't valuable gold or silver treasures, it had almost everything she needed, and even more comprehensive than she had imagined.

"Not bad, really not bad. Where is he?" The question was naturally directed at Yuan Cuo.

Li Chengyue looked towards the door, "Princess, don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Wei Gongming spoke up from the side, "Yuan Cuo didn't invite you to be the officiant at the wedding, did he?"

His words stunned everyone. Although Li Chengyue came from a good family, he was, after all, someone who had been stripped of his official position.

Having been stripped of his official position, he naturally couldn't be considered to have been "upright in character" and "open-minded" as Chen Zhongyao had just claimed. After all, these were words spoken in the palace, and as an imperial censor, he dared not refute them.

Li Chengyue only noticed Wei Gongming at this moment, and his smile vanished instantly. "What are you doing here?!" He felt an urge to punch this man as soon as he saw him.

"As Yuan Cuo's childhood friend, I naturally came to celebrate, also because I was afraid he wouldn't have a suitable officiant and wanted to lend a hand. But I never expected that after all his careful selection, he would choose someone who had been dismissed from his post. He's such a failure as a person..." Wei Gongming mocked without restraint.

Li Chengyue suddenly laughed, "You want to be the officiant at Yuan Cuo's wedding?"

"Why not? It's better than you." Wei Gongming straightened his back. He was, after all, the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning, and his family affairs were no less than those of those纨绔 (spoiled brats).

Pei Chun was surprised. "If that's the case, I'm the son of the Right Chancellor. Aren't I more suitable than the two of you?" Compared to Wei Gongming, his background is much more respectable!

“Don’t embarrass yourself. You have neither official rank nor title, you are not worthy of…” The one who dragged him back was the young master of the Ministry of Revenue’s official residence.

Pei Chun rolled his eyes; he really wasn't even a student of the lowest level.

“This is getting really interesting. If I can’t do it, neither can either of you. How can the groom’s side not have a capable officiant? This is not something to be taken lightly. Princess Chen is here to oversee things!” He deliberately elevated the princess’s status to make things worse.

Chen Zhongyao said from the side, "It's alright, I'll be the groom's officiant later." He had already made this preparation.

Princess Chen was already mentally prepared, and when her son mentioned it, she could only nod in agreement.

Chen Zhongyao represents the man, and only Liu Musheng can represent the woman. The two of them had already agreed on this matter in the study, and Liu Musheng was already aware of this arrangement.

Wei Gongming sneered and rebuked, "For a bride to have her family represent the groom's family at the wedding, Yuan Cuo's bones are probably softer than a steamed bun. What a nice guy!" His sarcasm was full of hatred, and he was even more puzzled as to what means Yuan Cuo had used to get Liu Yuechu to marry such a bookworm as him!

"What exactly happened at Yuancuo? Why haven't they come in yet?!" The old lady remained silent for a long time, and now she seemed to be changing the subject, or perhaps adding fuel to the fire.

Princess Chen also looked at Liu Muchi, "What happened?" She suppressed her anger, her voice almost trembling.

Liu Muchi had never seen such a scene before, and when questioned by Princess Chen, he stammered and couldn't say a word.

"They're here, they're here, they're here!" A shout came from outside the door, followed by loud laughter and a chorus of footsteps.

The first thing everyone saw was Yang Zhanchun.

He was the head of the Imperial Academy and also a brave man who fought against the Marquis of Zhenning's family in the imperial court.

Wei Gongming's expression froze, his eyes filled with resentment.

Could it be that all our enemies are gathered at the Liu family's residence today? Pei Chun and his group of playboys laughed even harder!

Upon seeing Princess Chen, Yang Zhanchun immediately stepped forward to greet her and bow. "I had class this morning and just finished, so I'm a little late. I hope the Princess and the old lady won't mind." He bowed respectfully with his hands clasped.

Princess Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "Why didn't you say you'd be coming? Are you officiating at Yuan Cuo's wedding?" She held onto her last hope.
